INTRODUCTION
As the President’s chief message-crafting body, the Presidential Communications Development
and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO), is mandated to provide strategic communication leadership
and support to the Executive Branch, its composite agencies, and instrumentalities of government.
The PCDSPO is also mandated to act as custodian of the institutional memory of the Office of
the President. One of our projects is the continuation of the series of books called the Messages of the
President, started in 1936 by Jorge B. Vargas, Executive Secretary to President Manuel L. Quezon.
The series was a wide collection of executive issuances, speeches, messages, and other official papers
of the President. The volumes were intended to serve as the definitive compilation of presidential
documents. The series was continued until the Quirino administration, although the series for the
Presidential administrations of Presidents Quezon, Roxas, and Quirino were never completed.
In 2010, President Benigno S. Aquino III ordered the revival of the series and the constitution of a
complete set, covering all 15 presidential administrations. With pride, we continue what Vargas began.
We would like to extend our gratitude to our partners for without whose gracious cooperation,
this project would have not been possible.
A note on organization: Each presidential administration’s messages are in book form, compiled
and subdivided into volumes. The books are as follows:
Book 1: Emilio Aguinaldo
Book 2: Jose P. Laurel
Book 3: Manuel L. Quezon
Book 4: Sergio Osmena
Book 5: Manuel Roxas
Book 6: Elpidio Quirino
Book 7: Ramon Magsaysay
Book 8: Carlos P. Garcia
Book 9: Diosdado Macapagal
Book 10: Ferdinand E. Marcos
Book 11: Corazon C. Aquino
Book 12: Fidel V. Ramos
Book 13: Joseph Ejercito Estrada
Book 14: Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
Book 15: Benigno S. Aquino III
Each book is subdivided into the following volumes:
Volume 1: Official Week/Month in Review
Volume 2: Appointments and Designations
Volume 3: Historical Papers and Documents
Volume 4: Executive Orders
Volume 5: Administrative Orders
Volume 6: Proclamations

PREFACE
On July 30, 2010, President Benigno S. Aquino III issued Executive Order No. 4, which effectively
renamed what was previously called the Malacanang Museum into the Presidential Museum and
Library (PML) and placed it under the supervision and control of the Presidential Communications
Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO). The PML is responsible for preserving,
managing, and promoting the history and heritage of the Philippine presidency. It is the principal
historical and artistic repository in support of the institution of the presidency, for the benefit of
the Republic and the Lilipino people. In partnership with the PCDSPO, which has pioneered the
publication of the Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines as a web archive and information
website, the PML has taken this mandate and placed it on the cutting edge of the information age.
Much has been done over the past years, under the administration of President Aquino III, to
digitize executive issuances, speeches, letters, and other presidential papers; and publish them online.
The project is not limited to a single administration, nor does it discriminate. This collection, published
as databases, as well as print and e-publications, includes documents from the presidency of Emilio
Aguinaldo to the current Aquino administration. This represents the government’s allegiance to
transparency, continuity, and the fostering of an informed citizenry, as well as an effort, in earnest, to
preserve the institutional memory of the Presidency. All this was done not just for the posterity, but for
the current generation and the ongoing task of nation building.
The PML are proud partners of the Official Gazette and PCDSPO team, to whom we made the
collections available. We sincerely hope that this series will serve as a vital reference to educators,
students, journalists, lawyers, historians, and the public at large.

FOREWORD

Secretary Jorge B. Vargas, during the first year in office of Manuel L. Quezon, the first President of the
Commonwealth of the Philippines. This volume collects President Garcia’s Executive Orders, which
provide for rules of a general or permanent character in implementation or execution of constitutional
or statutory powers.

PRESIDENT CARLOS P. GARCIA
President Carlos P. Garcia was the fourth President of the Philippines. He became President and
assumed office on March 18, 1957, upon the death of Ramon Magsaysay, and was elected to a full
four-year term the same year. President Carlos P. Garcia was President until December 30, 1961.
The Executive Issuances of President Carlos P. Garcia began with Administrative Order No. 235
and Proclamation Nos. 395 to 397, signed on March 18, 1957, he continued the numbering of his
predecessor Ramon Magsaysay and ended with Executive Order Nos. 455 to 461; Proclamation Nos.
814 and 815; and Administrative Order No. 387 which were all signed on December 29, 1961.
President Carlos P. Garcia’s documents were gathered from its official sources such as the Official
Gazette of the Philippines and Malacanang Records Office’s Book of Executive Issuances.
The American Psychological Association (APA) style was used for the citation. The titles that have
been provided by the researchers are enclosed in square brackets, considering that the exact wordings
and its order were not verbatim from the document being described. Book titles are italicized while
the speech titles are not. If in any case that the book title is the same as the title of the speech, it is
transcribed in italics because it is the book title.

EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 329
WAIVING THE ADDITIONAL PROGRESSIVE TAXES TO BE COLLECTED FROM, AND
PAID BY, PROPRIETORS AND OPERATORS OF CERTAIN SUGAR MILLS FOR THE CROP
YEAR 1957-1958
Whereas, most of the sugar centrals in the Philippines are still undertaking the rehabilitation
of their facilities, including the buildings and dwelling houses of their laborers, which were damaged
during the last war, and are incurring heavy expenditures for this purpose;
Whereas, some of those centrals have been operating at a loss, and others at profits which are
inconsiderable; and
Whereas, the imposition of the additional progressive taxes on these centrals would be unduly
oppressive and, in a few instances, even confiscatory in effect;
Now, therefore, I, Carlos P. Garcia, President of the Philippines, do hereby waive the additional
progressive taxes to be paid by the proprietors and operators of the following sugar mills for the
1957-1958 crop under section 2 of Commonwealth Act No. 567:
1. Ormoc Sugar Company, Inc., provided that the central shall continue to give its planters
transportation allowances as provided for in the revised milling contract between the central and its
planters;
2. Bogo-Modollin Milling Co., Inc., provided that improvements being undertaken to increase the
capacity of the mill and factory shall be continued and that the increase in the planters’ participation
1 + Vi% given since 1952-1953, thus making the planters’ participation 57 + Vi%, in addition to the
escalator clause giving the planters 60% of all sugar and molasses manufactured from and including
the 131st milling day, shall continue to be enforced;
3. Asturias Sugar Central, Inc., provided that the participation shall continue to be increased to
57 + Vi%.
4. Central Azucarera del Norte;
5. Nind Sugar Company, provided that 55% of the equivalent of the progressive tax shall be paid
to the central planters as additional benefits.

CORPORATIONS, PENDING THE CREATION OF REGULAR AND PERMANENT
POSITIONS FOR SUCH OFFICERS
Whereas, in keeping with the Administration’s policy of achieving greater economy and
efficiency in governmental operations and providing more and better service to the people, the Cabinet,
at its meeting on April 7, 1953, approved a program of in-service training for government officials and
employees;
Whereas, the survey conducted by the Bureau of Civil Service on in-service training reveals that
many of the departments, bureaus, offices, and agencies of the Government, including government-
owned or controlled corporations, do not have any in-service training program on account of the lack
of personnel to carry on such a program;
Now, therefore, I, Carlos P. Garcia, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested
in me by law, and in order to achieve more fully the objectives of the government-wide in-service
training program, do hereby authorize the designation of training officers in each department, bureau,
office, or agency of the Government, pending the creation of regular and permanent positions for
training officers, as follows:
1. Each department, bureau, office, or agency of the National, Provincial, or City Government,
including government-owned or controlled corporations, shall have a training officer who, subject to
the authority of the head of department, bureau, office, or agency, as the case may be, and to the
regulations to be promulgated by the Commissioner of Civil Service, shall be responsible for employees
training in his office or agency.
2. The training officer of the department, bureau, office, or agency of the National, Provincial, or
City Government shall be designated by the head of department, the chief of bureau, office or agency,
or the Provincial Governor or City Mayor, as the case may be, from among the qualified officers
and employees therein, as provided in Paragraph 7 of this Order, and the person so designated shall
perform the duties of training officer without additional compensation.
3. The training officer of a government-owned or controlled corporation shall be designated by
the general manager of the corporation concerned, from among the qualified officers and employees

addition to such other duties as the head of office may from time to time assign in the interest of the
service.
7. The Bureau of Civil Service shall prescribe the qualifications and civil service eligibility required
for the filling of positions of training officers.

EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 372
FIXING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1960, AS CENSUS DAY FOR POPULATION AND HOUSING,
AND TUESDAY, MAY 3, 1960, AS CENSUS DAY FOR AGRICULTURE
Whereas, Commonwealth Act No. 591 authorizes the Bureau of the Census and Statistics
“to prepare for and undertake all censuses of population, agriculture, industry, and commerce,” and
Republic Act No. 2300 sets aside an appropriation for the taking of the 1960 census of population and
agriculture;
Whereas, February 1, 1960, has been fixed as Census Day for the Census of population by
Executive Order No. 365, dated December 4, 1959; and
Whereas, it is necessary to give ample time to field personnel to prepare themselves for the
enumeration, especially because in certain cases the forms have not yet reached their destination on
account of the delay caused by typhoons and other justifiable causes;
Now, therefore, I, Carlos P. Garcia, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested
in me by law, do hereby designate Monday, February 15, 1960, as Census Day for population and
housing, and Tuesday, May 3, 1960, as Census Day for Agriculture, on which dates the enumeration of
population, housing, and agriculture and the collection of all pertinent social and economic data about
the Philippines shall begin and proceed on consecutive dates from daylight to darkness, including
Sundays and holidays, until completed.
The population count of the Philippines shall be as of 12:01 a.m. of the Census Day, February 15,
1960.
The necessary supervisors, enumerators, and other subordinate personnel for the Census work
shall be appointed by the Director of the Census and Statistics. All heads of departments of the
government are hereby enjoined to authorize and direct all bureaus and offices respectively under them
and provincial, city, and municipal officials, as well as provincial Constabulary commanders concerned,
to make available, for purposes of the census-taking, the services of such of their personnel as may be
requisitioned for said purposes.
All residents of the Philippines are enjoined to give any required assistance in executing the
provisions of this Executive Order by giving all information requested by Census Enumerators and
allowing them to affix on any portion of any dwelling or other property, in a conspicuous place, any
authorized mark, sign or notice, letter or number during the Census Day.
This order supersedes Executive Order No. 365, dated December 4, 1959.

EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 378
CREATING A PRESIDENTIAL ANTI-GRAFT COMMITTEE TO ENFORCE AND IMPLEMENT
REPUBLIC ACT NO. 1379
Whereas, Republic Act No. 1379, popularly referred to as the Anti-Graft Law, decrees the
forfeiture in favor of the State of any property found to have been unlawfully acquired by any public
officer or employee, and provides for the proceedings therefor;
Whereas, the enforcement of said law is not only the sworn duty of the President but also a
desideratum in the Administration’s current drive against graft and corruption; and
Whereas, experience has shown that Republic Act No. 1379, far from being self-executing,
requires the indispensable services of a working group that shall determine, investigate, and build up
the cases against all those reasonably suspected or shown to have unlawfully acquired properties and /
or amassed wealth while in public office;
Now, therefore, I, Carlos P. Garcia, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested
in me by law, do hereby create an investigating group to be known as the Presidential Anti-Graft
Committee to be composed of such personnel as the President may designate from time to time.
The primary function of the committee shall be to implement and enforce Republic Act No. 1379
by inquiring into, investigating, determining, and verifying any and all unlawfully acquired properties
of government officials and employees, particularly in the Bureau of Customs and the Bureau of
Internal Revenue and in government offices and institutions where similar investigations as those
contemplated under this Executive Order have been started previously; and obtaining the needed
evidence to established such unlawful acquisitions of property and/or other forms of wealth acquired
by them while in public office.
The committee herein created is granted all the powers of an investigating committee under
sections 71 and 580 of the Revised Administrative Code.
The committee is hereby authorized to call upon any department, bureau, office, agency, or
instrumentality of the Government, including government-owned or controlled corporations, for such
clerical help, other assistance, and/or information as it may need in the performance of its functions,
and for this purpose, it shall have access to, and the right to examine, any books, documents, papers, or
records thereof, subject to the limitations provided by law.
The committee is hereby directed to forward all its reports of investigations, findings, and
recommendations, with all the supporting evidence and other papers relevant thereto, to the President
of the Philippines.

WAIVING THE ADDITIONAL PROGRESSIVE TAXES TO BE COLLECTED FROM, AND

YEAR 1959-1960
Whereas, most of the sugar centrals in the Philippines are still undertaking the rehabilitation

during the last war, and are incurring heavy expenditures for this purpose;
Whereas, some of these centrals have been operating at a loss, and others at profits which are

oppressive and, in a few instances, even confiscatory in effect;

progressive taxes to be paid by the proprietors and operators of the following sugar mills for the
1959-1960 crop under section 2 of Commonwealth Act No. 567;

to the escalator clause giving the planters 60 per cent of all sugar and molasses manufactured from and
including the 131st milling day, shall continue to be enforced.
3. Asturias Sugar Central, Inc., provided that the planters’ participation shall continue to be

EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 408
PROVIDING A MORE EXPEDITIOUS SYSTEM AND SIMPLER
FORMS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT AND FACILITATION OF
FOREIGN TOURIST TRAVEL TO THE PHILIPPINES
By virtue of the powers vested in me by law, I, Carlos P. Garcia, President of the Philippines, do
hereby order:
1. That with a view to establishing a competitive position for the Philippines in international
tourism and for the purpose of encouraging and facilitating foreign travel to this country as a means of
further enhancing our prestige abroad and strengthening our economy —
(a) All existing regulations as may be determined by the Board of Travel
and Tourist Industry as hampering the expeditious facilitation of foreign tourist
travel to the Philippines are hereby authorized to be suspended, except in such
cases where because of conditions prevailing at the point of origin of travel, the
Secretary of Foreign Affairs feels that suspension is not justified. The said Board
is hereby authorized to implement this Order and it shall advise the Office of the
President of the Philippines and all other offices concerned of every action taken
in accordance herewith.
( b ) The Secretary of Foreign Affairs shall prescribe a simple and concise form
and an expeditious system of travel documentation of foreign tourists applying for
admission to the Philippines, requiring only such absolutely essential information
and data as will constitute a record of the identity of the applicants for visas and
the purpose of their travel to the Philippines.
(c) The visa fee is hereby fixed at not more than P3.00 or its equivalent in
acceptable foreign exchange as fixed by the Central Bank unless by agreement
with a foreign government such fee is entirely dispensed with on a reciprocal
basis. All other charges now required in connection with the documentation of
foreign tourists coming to the Philippines are hereby suspended.
2. That in order to carry out the foregoing objectives —
(a) The Secretary of Foreign Affairs may negotiate and enter into agreements
with foreign governments desiring to benefit from this Order so as to obtain
reciprocal benefit for the Philippines.
191
MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT
GARCIA | Volume 4
(b) The Board of Travel and Tourist Industry shall devise an integrated form
that meets substantially the basic requirements of the government offices and
agencies concerned, on the basis of the internationally approved embarkation and
disembarkation card, to the contents of which may be added such other essential
data as may be required by offices other than the Bureau of Immigration that
deal with foreign tourists, with a view to rendering it simple, concise, and easy to
accomplish. This integrated form shall not be of more than one sheet. No traveler
entering the Philippines or applicant for travel documentation shall be required to
accomplish more than an original copy.
(c) Upon approval and adoption of the integrated form referred to
hereinabove in paragraph b, all offices and agencies of the government shall
suspend all their forms which they required foreign tourists to accomplish upon
applying for admission to or upon entering the country.
(d) The personal presence of applicants for travel documentation shall not be
required except when a preponderance of evidence in the hands of a documenting
officer justifies the need for such personal appearance.
(e) All travel documentation applied for shall be completed and made
available to the applicants as quickly as possible and in no case shall a decision to
withhold the documentation applied for be delayed beyond six hours of receipt of
an application.
(/) Except in cases specifically excluded by the Secretary of Foreign Affairs as
provided in paragraph 1-a of this Order, and except also where there is reasonable
evidence of danger of violation of existing regulations, bona fide foreign tourists,
documented as such, shall not be required to file a customs declaration form and
their luggage shall be exempt from customs examination if an oral examination
proves satisfactory.
3. For purposes of this Order, a bona fide foreign tourist is deemed to be “any person without
distinction as to race, sect, language, or religion who enters the territory of a Contracting State
other than in which that person, normally resides ... for legitimate non-immigrant purposes, such
as touring, recreation, sports, health, family reasons, study religious pilgrimages, or business,” as
defined in Article 1, section (b) of the U.N. Convention Concerning Customs Facilities for Touring of
June 4, 1954, to which the Philippines is a signatory, and remains there for not less than twenty-four
hours and not more than 59 days, as now fixed by existing laws.
4. This Order shall apply only to bona fide foreign tourists as above defined and not to citizens
or residents of the country returning from foreign sojourns to whom all existing laws and regulations
shall continue to apply as heretofore: Provided, however, That in order to encourage Filipinos residing
abroad to visit the Philippines in 1961, which has been declared under Proclamation No. 715, dated
October 27, 1960, as Jose Rizal Year with the slogan “Visit the Philippines — See the Orient,” such
Filipinos as may come and remain during that year for not more than 59 days shall be accorded
every privilege extended under this Order to bona fide foreign tourists and exempted from routine
requirements to which they are ordinarily subjected.
5. Transit passengers holding valid visas to a destination beyond the Philippines shall not be
required to apply for or hold Philippine transit visas and they shall be allowed to debark from the
vessels bringing them to the Philippines and to re-embark on the same or any other vessels, provided
192
OFFICIAL GAZETTE
GARCIA | Volume 4
they shall not stay in Philippine territory longer than seventy-two (72) hours. The Secretary of Foreign
Affairs may, however, exclude from the application of this provision nationals of any country whose
entry into Philippine territory is contrary to any existing policy or not deemed by him to be in the
public interest. With this in view, the Immigration authorities on duty shall issue appropriate landing
card permits which the passengers shall turn in upon departure.
6. Such transit passengers as may wish to remain longer as tourists shall apply to the Bureau of
Immigration for an extension of stay not to exceed two weeks and same shall be granted upon receipt
of application unless there is derogatory information on record against them and provided no evidence
is produced to justify denial of their application.
7. The Board of Travel and Tourist Industry shall, from time to time, review existing travel
regulations and institute such changes as may be deemed necessary and warranted under the provisions
of this Order. In order to insure adequate consideration of all factors involved, the Board may create an
Advisory Group, composed of not more than five (5) members of the National Facilitation Committee
of the Philippines, designated for the purpose by its Chairman, to be regularly consulted regarding the
proper facilitation of travel and any proposed changes in travel regulations.
This Order shall take effect immediately and the rules prescribed in accordance herewith shall
become effective upon their promulgation by the Secretary of Foreign Affairs and the Board of Travel
and Tourist Industry, respectively.
Done in the City of Manila, this 9th day of November, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred
and sixty, and of the Independence of the Philippines, the fifteenth.

EXTENDING THE JURISDICTION OF THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE COURT OF OLONGAPO,
ZAMBALES, OVER THAT PORTION OF THE UNITED STATES NAVAL BASE RESERVATION,
SUBIC BAY AREA, FALLING WITHIN THE PROVINCE OF ZAMBALES
Whereas, under Executive Order No. 366, dated December 7, 1959, the Community of
Olongapo was created as an independent municipality known as the Municipality of Olongapo and
segregated from the U.S. Naval Base at Subic Bay, Province of Zambales;
Whereas, in view of the creation of the Municipality of Olongapo, the jurisdiction of the Justice
of the Peace Court of Olongapo over cases from the U.S. Naval Base area ceased to exist, the court’s
jurisdiction being now confined to the territorial limits of said municipality; and
Whereas, the filing of such cases with the Justice of the Peace of Olongapo is more conducive
to the speedy administration of justice and convenient to the parties in view of its proximity and
accessibility to the base;
Now, therefore, I, Carlos P. Garcia, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested
in me under sections 69 and 69 of the Judiciary Act of 1948, and upon the recommendation of the
Secretary of Justice, do hereby extend the jurisdiction of the Justice of the Peace Court of Olongapo
over that portion of the U.S. Naval Base Reservation, Subic Bay area, falling within the Province of
Zambales.
This Order shall take effect immediately.

WAIVING THE ADDITIONAL PROGRESSIVE TAXES TO BE COLLECTED FROM, AND
PAID BY, PROPRIETORS AND OPERATORS OF CERTAIN SUGAR MILLS FOR THE CROP
YEAR 1960-1961.
Whereas, most of the sugar centrals in the Philippines are still undertaking the rehabilitation

during the last war, and are incurring heavy expenditures for this purpose;
Whereas, some of these centrals have been operating at a loss, and others at profits which are
inconsiderable; and
Whereas, the imposition of the additional progressive taxes on these centrals would be unduly
oppressive and, in a few instances, even confiscatory in effect;
Now, therefore, I, Carlos P. Garcia, President of the Philippines, do hereby waive the additional
progressive taxes to be paid by the proprietors and operators of the following sugar mills for the 1960-
1961 crop under section 2 of Commonwealth Act No. 567;

transportation allowances as provided for in the revised milling contract between the central and its
planters.
2. Bogo-Medellin Milling Co., Inc., provided that improvements being undertaken to increase the
capacity of the mill and factory shall be continued and that the increase in the planters’ participation of

to the escalator clause giving the planters 60 per cent of all sugar and molasses manufactured from and
including the 131st milling day, shall continue to be enforced.
3. Asturias Sugar Central, Inc., provided that the planters’ participation shall continue to be
increased to SIVi per cent.
4. Hind Sugar Company, provided that 55 per cent of the equivalent of the progressive tax shall

ABOLISHING THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEES ON VETERANS’ PENSION
Whereas, Executive Order No. 478 dated December 12, 1951, creating an Investigating
Committee on Veterans’ Pension in each municipality and chartered city, was issued for the purpose
of facilitating investigations of applicants for veterans’ pension and their witnesses with a view to
determining their rights to the benefits provided under Commonwealth Act No. 605, as amended by
Republic Act No. 539; and
Whereas, with the creation of the Philippine Veterans Administration (PVA) under Republic Act
